TL;DR: An experimental determination of the thermodynamic stabilities of a series of amyloid fibrils reveals that this structural form is likely to be the most stable one that protein molecules can adopt even under physiological conditions, challenging the conventional assumption that functional forms of proteins correspond to the global minima in their free energy surfaces.

TL;DR: The intriguing properties of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (2D TMDCs) have led to a significant body of fundamental research and rapid uptake of these materials in many applications as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: This review covers the broad but related aspects of GOS synthesis including: the structure and reaction mechanism of β-galactosidase, factors effecting yield and productivity ofGOS synthesis systems, the structure of G OS products, models for the kinetics of Gos synthesis and reactor configurations for GOS synthesisation.

TL;DR: It is suggested that alphaS- and beta- casein are potent inhibitors of kappa-casein fibril formation and may prevent large-scale fibrils formation in vivo and play a preventative role in the development of corpora amylacea, a disorder associated with the accumulation of amyloid deposits in mammary tissue.

TL;DR: It is suggested that it will be possible to generate nanomaterials based on amyloid fibrils that are tailored to promote interactions with a wide variety of cell types.
